$100 billion sounds a lot, but in comparison it's miniscule. For that amount of money you can either run an international space station for 24 years or the US military for 1.3 months, or the russian military for one year. If we'd just start killing eachother a little less, we could easily save that much money.

My cat only needs Mouse au Chocolate and Ratinol.

Sure, you can say a lot of bad things about the leaders of the nazi party, but you have to give them credit for being the guys that killed Göbbels and Hitler.

Don't you worry, you'll have an election. Even the Germans had elections during their darkest times. That doesn't mean you'll have a choice though.

I don't care that you used to be a dude, but I must say, the surgeon did an amazing job.

I'm planning to upgrade my Linux system with a new graphics card soon, and the only reason I'm actually still considering Nvidia is CUDA. It just seems so much easier, and so much more broadly supported by software. But maybe that's just because I've never tried it.

I hope, you got Paracetamol, or Ibuprofen instead of Aspirin, as the latter is an anticoagulant, which prevents the blood from thickening itself. Other than that, that's exactly the same medication I got in Germany when my wisdom teeth were extracted: Local anesthetics during the procedure, paracetamol for afterwards and a sick note for one day with the option to get it prolonged if necessary. Outside the US it's not as common to throw a ton of opioids at minor/medium pains. Which is why the US has an opioid crisis and we don't.

I live thousand miles and almost 40 years away from the Chernobyl disaster. And still we have to test and dispose boar meat regularly because of over the top Caesium-137 polution.

One lander for the astronauts, one for the film crew and a third one for the cameras, lights etc. You know you can't just walk into a RadioShack on the moon and ask for a camcorder, right? Because in because in space noone can hear you ask.

In Germany we had a company a few years ago, that had planned to build cargo airships to replace heavyweight transports on streets. The idea was to use it for freights of up to 160 tons of weight.

Admittedly, it was a financial disaster and the company went bankrupt after a few years. But the limited weight capacity wasn't the problem.

At least, we now have a tropical island, due to their failure.

Is there anything else for me to do on the island? Is it big enough to go hiking, can you swim in the ocean, or is there just a desk and a chair and you have to play all day while not eating/sleeping? Because if that was the case, I'd choose some sports game, probably Nintendo's Ring Fit Adventure, but I don't know any alternatives. Sitting at the desk 16 hours a day would be quite uncomfortable after a while. Other than that my choices have already been named: Factorio (can I wait till October please, before you send me off to that island 🙏. I can't wait 5 more years for the expansion!) and KSP.

In einem Land, in dem eine Autobahnauffahrt zu Ehren des Grundgesetzes umbenannt wird, ist ein Klick gegen Verbrennungsmotoren natürlich ein Hassverbrechen.

Bildbeschreibung: Screenshot von tagesschau.de, ein Bild von einer Autobahnauffahrt. Darunter der Text «Die Anschlussstelle Bonn-Bad Godesberg der Autobahn 562 wurde anlässlich des Jubiläums in "Platz des Grundgesetzes" umbenannt. Besonderes Merkmal sind die 200 Fahnenmasten, die zur Zeit mit Fahnen zum Thema 75 Jahre Grundgesetz beflaggt sind.»
